Pennsylvania – A chilly start for Pennsylvania and surrounding areas brings a frost advisory until 9 a.m. today. Residents are advised to protect sensitive outdoor plants, as temperatures may dip as low as 33 degrees Fahrenheit. A fire risk warning is also in effect across parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, as low humidity and dry vegetation increase the chance of fire spread.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, this week will see temperatures climb steadily, reaching highs near 77 degrees by Wednesday in Philadelphia. The warm trend is expected to peak midweek, with daytime highs hitting 80 in some areas. However, dry air combined with sustained winds has created ideal conditions for wildfires across the region, urging caution in outdoor activities, particularly for those near wooded areas.
Extended Five-Day Forecast:
• Monday: Sunny, high of 63. Frost advisory in effect until 9 a.m.
• Tuesday: Mostly sunny, high of 69, low humidity.
• Wednesday: Warmest day with highs reaching 77; fire risk due to dry and gusty conditions.
